Breitbart: We have the guns

Ultimately, it is what everything political comes down to, from rights to institutions (because you cannot own or maintain what you cannot defend). However, civilized societies try to use violence for the defense of society itself and not against political differences.

Actually, in part that is why the 2nd adm was created.

Look at Libya........Now of course one will argue that we a no Libya. Granted, nor do we ever want to be.

I hear this same exact argument used against Muslims. "Yeah, well if they are so against violence, why don't we hear their condemnations more?!" I don't know. Maybe it's because we're too busy to spend all of our time decrying behavior and rhetoric that no sane person would support, and presuming a desire for smaller government really means a desire for violent revolution is really stupid and shouldn't require refutation. We have way too many tax collectors to tar and feather for us to attack every little loon.

Did you actually read or watch the whole conversation which spawned not so Brightbarts comments? They were in response to the liberal 'revolution' that is 'brewing'. In a recent thread here people had no problem proclaiming London II, Americas Day of rage, etc. I dont see too many people walking around talking about revolution from the right, and where I have seen it Ive had no problem calling it out.
 
I don't know water the tree of liberty... have you strolled around youtube and listened to the home grown talk radio hosts? Anyways, they're all jumping the gun.

Lord no...I dont have enough life to waste a minute on talk radio. OK...maybe some sports radio now and again...

The only sure way I know for things to get very ugly is for both sides to keep up the rhetoric.

I think Breitbart's forgetting about the townie cops.

The deputy Sheriffs.

The state patrols.

The Federal authorities.

The military.

All the people who may be mad at the left but who have no interest in going to war with law and order.

Heck, I bet there are a bunch of liberals and independents out there that own guns, too.

You may have guns, pal, but the authorities have the artillery.

Most of those you mentioned are usually conservatives if not more a libratarian lean IMO. None the less Brietbart talking sh!t, if it ever got to this point I believe it would be suburbia versus urban cities.

If history can be a teacher, then it will be urban only.

A common conception, the same as the idea that the military was mostly conservative until they do the occasional very rare polling.
 
Aside from that, it's not politics that drive the background thinking in those kinds of jobs -- it's the pursuit order and structure.

The suburbs arent sound for all out warfare... unless your under an occupation. Citizen against citizen isnt really conceivable there.

There definitely are. I'm one of them, and I count several others among my friends and family.

Have you noticed a surprising number of liberals/lefties, who have natural facility with firearms? I don't know if its video games or what, but I am amazed at the percentages. Far above what I would have guessed. That and the quiet, unpolitical country folk, scattered all over from what I've seen, who calmly support reasonable gun control as well as owning several unregistered firearms.

Long story short, I don't think revolution is brewing, but we are armed and armored against invasion. That purpose of the second amendment has been served.

There are enough armed and able members of society who WON'T do something stupid that I don't think we need to worry about those who might.

That would be the peaceful revolution as specified by the founders of the Constitution - elections.

The second amendment is for organized resistance (or a well regulated militia) against oppressive governments (at least this is what I can tell, given what I know of the history of this amendment). This does not necessarily mean that it is for killing one's fellow citizens who may disagree on policy. There is a very not fine line there.

Regulation is Anti-American though...

Wait... wait a minute.

It's not even worth it nevermind.

Gotta love the whole "vote the way we want or we will kill you" types of threats.

actually it looks like he said "if you ever try to make good on your threats, you'll lose".


which, of course, is true.

Why don't you go learn what 'regulated' meant in colonial times.
 
Andy needs to put the bong down and go get a haircut. Fruit loop comes to mind.
 
Sorry Liberals, but if you start a revolution you will lose because we have most of the guns.

I personally can defend my home with enough fire power to hold off any revolt for a long time, and you need to know

I'm not alone.

Grow up and face reality, you can't win.

If you want change Vote and get involved in politics or shut the hell up.

All kinds of people in this country have guns. I have lots of guns, so does just about everyone I know. So do many millions of other Americans who don't identify with Tea Party/GOP politics. Breitbart is a moron, and so is anyone else who subscribes to his right wing fantasies of left vs right armageddon.

Sorry, that is simply talking in circles. In Libya they are fighting their fellow citizens because they disagree on the path forward for their country. Are you saying that they are wrong and should just let the old regime return?

I commented earlier in this thread that this was NOT just one lone nutcase like Breitbart spouting off. (see post #5 in this thread) Many right here have voiced similar opinions bragging about their guns, their abilities with them and their resolve to use them if needed - meaning if the revolution every did come to their McMansion.

Thank you for supplying new evidence Councilman. The right is nothing if not predictable.
